A thought for the new year

A co-worker recently shared this poem with me. I hope you’ll take a couple of minutes to read and reflect as you start your new year.

The start of something new brings the hope of something great. Anything is possible.

Dream Big

 Author Unknown

If there were ever a time to dare
to make a difference,
to embark on something worth doing
It is now.
Not for any grand cause, necessarily –
but for something that tugs at your heart,
something that is worth your aspiration,
something that is your dream.
You owe it to yourself
to make your days count.
Have fun. Dig deep. Stretch.

Dream big.

Know, though,
that things worth doing
seldom come easy.
There will be times when you want to
turn around,
pack it up and call it quits.
Those times tell you
that you are pushing yourself,
And that you are not afraid to learn by trying.

Persist.

Because with an idea,
determination and the right tools,
you can do great things.
Let your instincts, your intellect
And let your heart guide you.

Trust.

Believe in the incredible power
of the human mind,
of doing something that makes a difference,
of working hard,
of laughing and hoping,
of lasting friends,
of all the things that will cross your path.

Next year

The start of something new
brings the hope of something great.
Anything is possible.
There is only one you
And you will pass this way but once.
